“[…] Take any of the problems that US president Donald Trump promised to address and there is always a degree of positivity in them. For example, the situation of immigration where he promised to stop the droves of immigrants entering the USA through illegal channels. “[…] But while we may …

“[…] Dennise Demming, like many others, highlights Dr Keith Rowley’s TT$87,847 pension while juxtaposing it against the TT$3,000 pension of senior citizens. This comparison is both disingenuous and misleading. “The salaries and benefits of public officials, including the prime minister, are determined by the Salaries Review Commission—an independent body tasked …

Chapter 1: Tiny Weird Identifiable Lump (TWIL)… TWIL showed up in April—or rather, I found TWIL in April. It is strange because self-exams were not a routine for me, even though I knew the importance. I always had dense tissue and would get an annual ultrasound just to make sure …

Britain-based author Richard Blackett, who, at present, is working on A History of Football in Trinidad and Tobago, 1908-2006, made an interesting challenge to me: Who would I pick on my all-time Trinidad and Tobago XI? Of course, such selections are highly prejudiced by their very nature. But it did …

“[…] The modern thong and beads era, while bold and unapologetic, often leans too far into the realm of impracticality. The disappearing thong, in particular, vanishes in part into crevices of unknown depth, leaving little to the imagination and often sacrificing comfort for shock value. “The bikini, on the other hand, has …
